Many moons ago I was working with the speaker company JBL and I went with the midland area chief sales rep to a club in Birmingham called Studebakers to put new sub bass drivers in the sub bass bins, which was a successful operation, reason being that the bass was disturbing the neighbours. Six months after that we had to go back and changed them to the old specification. Turns out that for the previous 6 months Birmingham city council had been plagued with calls and investigations on to poltergeist activity in a 5 miles circumference from the club. Only finding the source when a new guy turned up and with a map drew a big circle on the map and looks at what was in the middle. People had been having things moving around the houses and things falling and smashing. The bass field was reaching critical mass over the 5 miles distance and the resonant frequency just hit max. lol Sound is a powerful thing. elephants have flat feet and big ears to hear the stuff that we cant . Wonderful stuff . . . huh?
I just finished reading Dr. Connels book about communication. It's so great to be able to put the "objects" I read about into a physical space. Thank you!!!
I live near the San Andreas fault in California, I’m learning a lot from elephants, I can now anticipate low sounds right before smalls shakes with my human hearing capacity
Awesome idea! Wonder if farmers could afford & buy...But I know it's LESS Costly than killing an elephant for harming your crop! They are priceless! Plus, permanently stain their tusks - then NO value 2poachers!!!
Great to be learning their communication. Sad though, at the cost of cutting their water intake short. Especially when such opportunities have been dwindling : (
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, M One. We specifically waited until all the elephants drank before conducting an experiment so as not to stress the elephants.
Ingenious experiment. Who thought of the shaker? How did you acquire one, and for use in the field? I'm also curious about the ethics of disrupting the elephants. What season was the experiment done? Would they have had to go far for another source of water and safety? Awesome video, thanks!
Dang! Let them enjoy the waterhole while there wasn't any true threats around cause no telling how far they had to walk there and now have to walk elsewhere for water.
Was the sub terrain sound used a recorded one or one that was signal generated? Would have been interesting to know a few more details about that sound.
I'm sorry if it was unclear. The sound that was transmitted through the ground was indeed an elephant vocalization. Check out my book, "The Elephant's Secret Sense" for more deets:)
I'm sure these amazing Elephant's aren't just detecting other's of their kind - they know they're part of Mother Earth Herself so certainly they can detect countless movement's through the Earth like on-coming weather event's nor other animal migrating. I'd be willing 2 bet they can even feel predator's long before they approach the herd since they usually attack in a group.... Seeing how physically n emotionally attached Elephant's are toward each family member it seems obvious they'd develop the skill's 2 save them from any threat or danger : (
I have a friend that farms in Thailand that said if one talks badly about Elephants, likely they become victims of damages from Elephants. One can try look up stats. (I didn't) If it's a long time belief, it likely has merit. There's always the psychological communication when confronted with animals as well
THINK about how intelligent that is. The GROUND signals travel farther, so they know they have LONGER TO REACT THAN THE AUDIBLE signal. That is awe!!! SOME!!!!! (oh, they acknowledge that. lol. sorry)
It's so obvious elephants are not over very clever but also very chatty. But in a way often not audible to us. Experts who work closely with elephants say it's like they have telepathy.
Watch any Elephant painting video. I like the Elephant painting in Thailand. Artistry is good for any mind. Watching a young Elephant paint would be enhancing to any human wanting to learn how to paint.
This experiment is the moral equivalent of yelling fire in a movie theater to see if people will run. Atrocious disrespect for the intelligence of elephants.
Hello Default Name. I just noticed your post, being the first time I visited this site. Thank you for sharing your perspective. I thought I would reach out to let you know that this experiment was meant to test the elephant's ability to discriminate subtle frequency differences between known and unknown callers through the ground to understand the sophistication of their vibration detection pathway. We did this study to see if we might be able to use vibrational cues to deter elephants from entering crops, as well as possibly as an early warning system for farmers where sensors would detect their footfall patterns near farms. In addition to all of this, we are learning the sophistication of the elephants ability to detect vibrations through bone conduction and somatosensory pathways to inform human hearing aids. I'm so sorry that you felt that we were disrespecting these magnificent beings. You might appreciate the fact that our scientific publications show that in fact elephants can discern the notion of "fire in a movie theater" and respond accordingly--i.e. do not respond to strangers, but respond to know individuals--equivalent to your aunt's voice yelling a warning.
Anna Lisa, this is a cruel act. Animal welfare comes before any soo called scientific experiment. This is on the same level as animals abused in labs by cruel heartless people. These elephants needed to drink and bathe without any interference from those people
Jose Gonzalez Please, tell us what it is about how scientific experiments work that nullifies their objection? In other words, how does this experiment NOT deny these elephants their drink of water or bath or anything else they had in mind before they were scared off? You can disagree with someone's opinion but back it up with something.
I understand why scientists would want to study this, but it's so ignorant to manipulate them this way, to chase them away from their water. First, could they not have used another call besides the alarm, inciting fear? And second, it's time we quit acting like Nature's creatures are just things, not bothering to try to communicate with them, to let them know about the testing. We could perhaps respect them enough to seek their cooperation, their permission, instead of just coldly manipulating them without bothering to inform them. Humanity has a history of treating all of nature as subservient to us, as less important than we are, & as being dumb or less intelligent. I, for one, see in this our lesser intelligence - & our disrespect. There is no kindness in this. No, it is not maliciously done - I'm not saying that. Just that it's cold & callous - & arrogant. In some ways, we are the ignorant ones. One day we'll find that certain of Nature's creatures are, indeed, more intelligent, or differently intelligent than we are. I hope between now & then we lose some of our arrogance, or we won't be able to even see this higher intelligence in them. Love to both the beasts & the scientists. It's not them so much as it is all of science that needs to mature & lose some of its arrogance. I bet these guys are using current "best practices." It's the best practices that need to change. They don't speak well for us. Just to be clear: these animals are more than able to send & receive communications. Every such science team should have the services of an Animal Communicator, but absent that, the scientists could at least make the effort to let the animals know what was going on. They're not as ignorant as we take them to be. ~♥~
Sita Rainbow You raise a number of exceedingly valid points andI have no argument against any of them. But do you think it's possible to figure out how to inform the elephants they're only being tested so we can learn how they communicate -- without being able to communicate with them? Maybe it is, I don't know. If it isn't, is there no way to reduce the harm enough to make this experiment acceptable given its presumably lofty goal?
Sita Rainbow, this is also what I thought watching this clip. And it is absolutely true that we treat animals as playthings. To be used and abused at our pleasure. It is one of the reasons why I have little respect for the varied religions. They teach a kind of moral superiority of mankind over everything that disgusts me.
Parents pay attention. THIS is how your kids can get a job for life using fed grant (ie...free) money! Go to an Ivy League, major in something FUN, write heart tug grants to, oh say "SAVE THE BOTTLE NOSED FLY" Foundation, get a cushy job playin with critters in the wild, land or sea, for LIFE using other people's money! Hey! Why not? Beats climbing the corporate ladder.

Elephants are one my favorite animals
Siluntwolf mine too. and barn owls.
Tell someone who cares.
@@dennisfrie RUDE
@@dennisfrie you are horrible dont talk to siluntwolf like that🤬😡😡😡
They my fave to
I live near the San Andreas fault in California, I’m learning a lot from elephants, I can now anticipate low sounds right before smalls shakes with my human hearing capacity
They are such wonderful giants ! Most caring animals I have ever seen !
I love the work of biologists such as Dr Caitlin
Years ago There was a guy in my town who used to put his ear on the railroad track to get a sense of when the train was approaching.
Using the low frequencies and the shakers for play back near farms with crops near harvest might protect both the crops and the elephants.
Awesome idea! Wonder if farmers could afford & buy...But I know it's LESS Costly than killing an elephant for harming your crop!
They are priceless!
Plus, permanently stain their tusks -
then NO value 2poachers!!!
👍
That is what happened at the Tsunami. One elephant was warning them that something was happening and tried to go up higher.
Absolutely fascinating! I LOVE Elephants.
Great to be learning their communication. Sad though, at the cost of cutting their water intake short. Especially when such opportunities have been dwindling : (
That was not right.
Agreed! Fake scare to get them not to drink water? Messed up.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, M One. We specifically waited until all the elephants drank before conducting an experiment so as not to stress the elephants.
@@oconnellrodwell really cool to see your comment here, thanks for the clarification and thanks for all the work you do !
nice experiments, love science and animals
I knew I heard about elephants give signal underground. I saw a documentary about it when I was 8 but I couldn't remember what the title was.

Dear Madam, what kind of shakers you used for producing the low-frequency sound and what is the cost?
Fascinating
just amazing
Amazing info
Imagine how cool this would be to any animal that is actually a prey animal. To detect large creatures miles away.
Please don't scare them away from their watering hole!
im doing an assignment at school rn and one of the questions is "what is the Independent and Dependent variable". Anybody know the answer?
Watching this whilst watching the Tokyo Olympics 2020 on 24/7/21 in the UK at 10:16am

High level intelligence
Remind me of whalesong on land...

DON'T SCARE THEM!!

My favourite animal is a elephant
Ditto!
VERY High Intelligence and protective, nurturing, protective.
Plus, dolphins & dogs...many of same qualities, plus have SAVED many lives!!!
Who got this for school work?
anyone know the specific music that was used in this?

Can other animals 'hear' the elephants language too?
SUBHAANALLAH !
i wonder if they are as smart as Homosapien of ancient past. If they learn how to cooperate and build stuff
